AP: Johanns "was a Democrat"

Breaking News:
Republican Mike Johanns was a Democrat when he was elected to the Lancaster County Board of Commissioners in 1982. But he switched parties, and was elected to the Lincoln City Council in 1989 and as mayor of Lincoln in 1991.

(snip)

His views a staunchly conservative. He opposes abortion, embryonic stem cell research and same-sex marriages or civil unions. He supports renewing the Bush tax cuts of 2001 and 2003, including a per-child tax credit, and an end to the so-called marriage penalty and death tax.
Gee, where have I heard that before.

Of course, the AP failed to mention that he ran for Chair of State Democratic Party and was a staunch support of abortion rights. But why would the voters need to know that?
